Nightmares and lucid dreams

Victor Spoormaker

Hi, I am Victor Spoormaker and I am currently working as a postdoctoral fellow at the department of Clinical Psychology at Utrecht University, the Netherlands. My research focuses on lucid dreaming as a treatment for recurrent nightmares and the relationship of nightmares with other sleep and psychological disturbances. Moreover, I study in which way dreams can be creative (e.g incubated, lucid, and daydreams).

  1. Hi,
    my name is gabrielle and I have been working with dreams for many years. I am also a dream member of NY soul dreamers (you can find this website through http://www.dreams.meetup.com)
    maybe you would be interested in “Dream re-entry” “Dream Tracking”. it is similar to Lucid dreaming but a bit different methods. for more information, I would like to recommend Robert Moss’s books such as ‘dream gate’ ‘conscious dreaming”dreamways of Iroquois’…or go to his website http://www.mossdreams.com for his workshop schedule.
    you would find more interesting subject, for instance - ’soul retrieving’. His shamanic and many other resources related dream methods helped many people.
    I have been reading and using other wonderful dream teachers such as Patricia Garfield, Jeremy Taylor…etc. but I found Robert Moss’s some dream methods are unique and very helpful.
    Good luck with your study!

    Dream true!

  2. Hi Victor!

    I too have an interest in dreams. I’m especially interested in learning how to have more lucid dreams, as well as learning astral projection. I keep a dream journal.

    On nights that I do have dreams, I can usually remember sometimes three to five dreams at a time. But then I go through droughts where I don’t remember anything at all.

    Sweet dreams,

    Stacey

  3. Hi this is very interesting, myself I have always had lucid dreams but not neccessarily at will.

    Once I became lucid during a dream about being on a bus. I can recall being amazed at the scene my mind had created and the detail. Detail I could not conjur in wakefullness from memory.

    I decided to see just how imaginative I was and explore the scene. I decided to look inside a suit case that otherwise had I not become lucid would most likely not have part of the dream sequence, so I wanted to see just how much detail I had gone into.What had my brain accounted for so to speak.

    When I looked inside, all I found was car blankets. This to me, seemed as though my brain had set a dream that was in as much detail as was required for the scenario desired, so when I stepped beyond that scenario and looked further…my brain had a limited amount of time to prepare and in this limited time could only produce ‘blankets’.

    This of course may not be the case at all, but this is how it appeared to me at the time.
